Informations supplémentaires

A 1928 sculpture called "Defense" is featured on the southwest bridgehouse of the Michigan Avenue (DuSable) Bridge in Chicago, Illinois, USA. American sculptor Henry Hering portrayed the Fort Dearborn Massacre that occurred nearby during the War of 1812. The bas-relief depicts a sword-wielding soldier protecting civilians from attacking Indians. Sculptures on the three other bridgehouses recall more events in Chicago's history. In 2010, 90 years after the double-decked bridge first opened to Madison Avenue traffic, it was officially renamed DuSable Bridge in honor of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago's first permanent resident who was a fur trader of African descent.
